Quote: “The roots of all living things are tied together”

“The roots of all living things are tied together. Deep in the ground of being, they tangle and embrace. This understanding is expressed in the term nonduality. If we look deeply, we find that we do not have a separate self-identity, a self that does not include sun and wind, earth and water, creatures and plants, and one another.”

Joan Halifax Roshi, Essential Zen (Harper Collins)
